Protect Software To Run Only On One Computer In Program?
Mar 4, 2010I have developed a small application and now i want to protect it.
I want to run it only on my own computer and i have developed it for myself.

OK, so, I made a program that locks the computer with a password, to help you protect data from other people. It's quite simple, you open the program, it shows up in full screen, "To access this computer please type in the password"....etc.
BUT, I want it to have a "Guard". To make it act like a screen saver does. That's my plan: So, you typed in the password, and close the program. And then, if you didn't move your mouse, or press a key, or you're not watching a movie, for more than 6 minutes, I want it to automatically launch the program. Until now, I've just put in Form2.Show in the Form1's (which is the password-protect program) FormClosing class. I also made the Form2 on Full Screen, and it's opacity to 0%. That's where you will move your mouse. I made all the code until now, but I need code for making it act like a screen saver.
I've written a VB program. How do I add anti-tamper code so people can't crack it?

Unless the person actually gets into the source code they can't get the password am I right? Is it actually possible for them to get into the source code.
Basically what I'm asking is, is this safe and if not why not and how can it be made secure?
I have developed a program, which will be installed by several users. How can I protect it, so, once installed, the users can use them on the installed pc, but not others. before, what I did is: create a web service, when the user use it, they need verify the account by the web service. however, it needs the user always be online, which is not applicable to this case.
View 1 RepliesI've created a small application that basically reads and writes to a single Excel.exe process. It's basically a timer that records the time I use on projects and then store it in an Excel sheet. This works great, however, I've noticed that if I open Excel manually, work on some sheets and whatnot, save and exit etcetc, the process my software use gets broken or something. The same thing that happens if I manually close the excel.exe process and my software doesn't "know".

View 3 RepliesThis would be easier if I were able to have the external computer get its own name and just pass it to a web service as a variable, but I'm not able to do that right now. There are a variable number of computers from several different entities that regurarly access a web service on one of our servers. Changing only some VB.Net code on the server and nothing at all on any of those external computers, how would I be able to get their names programmatically in VB.Net?
View 2 RepliesI am moving from vb6 to vs2010. I installed vs2010 but no vb program, even the simplest will run. As soon as I load a solution either vshost32.exe or vshost32-clr.exe will shut down.If I create a vb application, even with just a form, a button, it will not run but will exit with the following.
'WindowsApplication1.exe' (Managed (v2.0.50727)): Loaded 'C:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_32mscorlib2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089mscorlib.dll'
The program '[3000] WindowsApplication1.exe: Managed (v2.0.50727)' has exited with code -2146233082 (0x80131506).
If I create an exe it will run on other computers but not mine, exe's that are created on other computers will run there but not on mine, so it doesn't seem to be a vs2010 problem but something else. I removed and reinstalled .net framework, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 but that didn't help either. Since exe's that I create will run on other computers but not mine, I suspect it's .net framework but other than uninstalling and reinstalling it, I have no idea what to check.

I have been working on a program on my old computer. Now, I have gotten a new computer and would like to continue to work on it there. The program is not yet finished. I would like to copy my program to my new computer. How can I do this? I tried copying the folder from my old computer to my new one and it opened the project, but I could not edit it as there was no permission given to edit it. It shows it as a read-only.

I have written a program using Visual Studio 8 that simulates engine balancing. To simualte the forces I have used teechart, and have also programmed a genetic algorithm to optimise the system. However, I have just reformatted my computer, and now I cant get the program to run. I can access the code (in Form1.vb) and there are no problems, but 2 errors, and 5 warnings exist in Form1.Designer.vb.
The errors codes are:
'Type AxMSFlexGridlib.AxMSFlexGrid is not defined'
'Type AxMSFlexGridlib.AxMSFlexGrid is not defined'
Is it possible if I want make my program only work for certain computer user?
Means the program will check the current system user... and If the user is allow by the program... the program will Run...and If the user not allow by the program the program will display Message..."You are NOT ALLOW to use this program" and the program will close.
I get this error :
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: CLR20r3
Problem Signature 01: tuto.exe
Problem Signature 02: 1.0.0.0
